Sometimes people or situations or life annoys you, if you have anything to get off your chest let it out here. What grinds your gears?

YAY! heehee... I friggin love you Kingman!

OKay.... so todays my day off and my boss wakes me up at 8:30 in the morning to apologize for waking me up but she wanted to let me know she won't be coming in Saturday. It's Thursday!!! She couldn't have told me tomorrow AT WORK? Or even at a later time today? It's not like she ever comes in on Saturday's anyway...ever! Oh no she had to wake me up when she obviously knew i would be sleeping (she knows im nocturnal). And she laughed about it which means she did it on purpose!!! People drive me crazy when they dont use their brains right. And that, Mike, is what really grinds my gears.

Ouch thats not good, a bit of common sense wouldn't have gone astray there she was obviously having a laugh, not cool. And especially since i sent you to sleep with a lovely cocktail...

I will tell you what grinds my gears....bankers in Ireland who brought about a lot of the current economic woe getting away with it scot-free with cosy pensions and golden handshakes, whilst half a million people are out of work and cant even pay the electricity bill. My parents worked hard all their lives and my father's pension was taken from him to be invested in "bonds and shares". We need some US style justice here promptly and throw the men responsible behind bars. Absolute bastards.

People who chew their food noisily or with their mouth open.

Mobile phones in restaurants, cinema, theatre or on the train (when I'm trying to read)

People who keep using the word 'amazing' or 'absolutely'

Will that do for a start?

The cinema is the worst- even when the ads blatantly say that you "should turn off ALL mobile phones now", you always get a few people who frantically text or facebook or download etc and the light from their phone disturbs the view and enjoyment of the movie, just turn it off people

Whilst im on the cinema, i also hate it when a group of loud and annoying youngsters sit right behind you when there are loads of other seats available and then proceed to giggle and whisper and kick your seat throughout the film

That and people who text/talk while driving!! Its bad enough that most people around where I live can't drive, but to be "multi-tasking" while doing it?? Needless to say its very scary driving around here.

Hahaha, man, I like when people get mad at driving here!
It's so gosh darn amusing!

Eh, I've almost given up on the theatre chair kicking kids, I've been kicked out too much to make it worth it.
So I content myself to their level and throw skittles at them...

Haha and Fran, you wouldn't like me very much then huh?
I say amazing, well amazingness, and absolutely also... absof****lutely, as well as other plays on them... And tons of other words like so haha.

Man, I hate when people bring up something from a while back. But not even a funny story or something, just an incident that wasn't funny nor significant whatsoever! Let it go!

The only solution there is to get to the back row before them

Haha, of course!
I always choose as far back as possible, or at the front near the railing so nobody can sit in front of me and take away my foot rest.

What are theaters like over there?
I'd assume different than where I am.

Dark

Haha oh ho, someone's little miss details huh?

I had no idea. See 'cause over here, they're blindingly bright... You don't even see the light from phones, it's like a seminar room...

Haha, thanks for the input...

haha... goodness.
Okay well you have to think..
Maybe Fran doesnt know what it's like in a theatre over here so she has no way of compairing them. Or she doesnt pay attention to the surroundingness of her theatre so all she see's is dark.

Is is that dark over there in the States then? Because as Fran said pretty much all cinemas in Ireland are pitch black and you have to use the tiny floor lights, like cats eyes, to navigate to your seat. A bright cinema would definitely annoy me.
